On June 24, 2025, the Delhi High Court granted Bollywood actor Rajpal Naurang Yadav permission to travel abroad to Melbourne, Australia, to attend promotional events for his upcoming film “Mera Kale Rang Da Yaar.” The trip is scheduled from June 27 to July 5, 2025.
The permission was granted by Vacation Judge Justice Rajneesh Kumar Gupta, who considered Yadav's application filed under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS). The court acknowledged that Yadav had been invited by Black and White Motion Picture Pvt. Ltd. for the film’s promotion.
“The Applicant/Petitioner no. 1 shall furnish an FDR of Rs. 1 lakh which shall be deposited with the Registry,”

- These contact details must also be shared with the investigating officer.
- His passport, which is currently with the Trial Court, shall be temporarily released but must be re-deposited upon his return to India.

This travel request is part of an ongoing criminal revision petition filed by Rajpal Yadav and his wife against their conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The Court had earlier suspended their sentence, considering that the petitioners were not habitual offenders, and also encouraged them to explore an amicable settlement with the complainant company, M/s. Murli Projects Pvt. Ltd.
“Petitioner No. 2 has already been granted permission to visit abroad,”
